Gordon Ryan And Nathalia Santoro Relationship 

Gordon Ryan and his girlfriend Nathalia Santoro began dating in 2016. There was a long-running joke about their relationship on how Nathalia was actually his sister as his parents adopted her. 

In a post from 2017, the submission grappler wrote, “On this day one year ago, my parents adopted Nathalia. Can’t really complain having her as a sister.”

Since then, Gordon has shared several posts with Nathalia, but these posts mainly focus on teaching grappling techniques to his Instagram followers. Last year, Nathalia, with the help of one of their friend, built an entire trophy room for Gordon on his birthday.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Ryan shared that Nathalia and their friend, Melly worked on the room for 12-16 hours a day for five days straight to help the room come to life. The room holds all the trophies, medals, and knives Gordon has won throughout his career.

Earlier this year, Gordon gifted his girl a brand new Porsche that she had wanted for the past two years. He shared the post of Nathalia beaming as she posed in front of her Porsche. 

Gordon said Nathalia absolutely deserved the luxury car as she has played a massive role in the person he has become today.

He wrote, “She handles my life off the mats, and I will forever handle hers. She will never need to worry about a thing.”
